A good thing to do when you have the tank and seat and all that stuff
off doing maintenance is take all the electrical connects apart and
apply Dilectric Grease to them. Protects from the elements and
enhances connection.
We do that offshore lots so this stuff will survive the salt air and
moisture conditions we have to deal with.

Andy,
Do you actually squirt the grease "into" the female portion of the
connection or should it be applied only at the base of the two
connections?

Contact cleaner and di-electric grease in the garage one afternoon
whilest you have everything apart to replace spark plugs, check
valves, clean filters is much more fun than in timbuktu in a downpour
or stuck in a creek or low water crossing. I highly recommend cleaning
contacts and using di-electric grease on all the electrical contacts
this little less than $5 maintenance task can make a big difference.
